What are you drinking tonight

[fairygagamother]

Cabanero red wine. It’s spicy!

A&W

You should have said Mug.

Pellegrino with lemon. There goes my enamel again.

The lemon wears down your enamel? I love lemon anything!

 

[ronandannette]

I started to look that up but then I remembered it's out of Canada!

Hope you feel better soon!

The taste is hideous; really worse than you can imagine, but many of us swear by it!

Anything acidic wears down your enamel. It can literally dissolve, and once it's gone, it's gone forever. Sparkling drinks with lemon are a double whammy of carbonic acid and citric acid.

But I love it. It's so refreshing!

Would love to try some! I think they sell it on Amazon, I might order a bottle for when it's needed. (I like to keep a pretty well stocked medicine cabinet!)

Don't say I didn't warn you.

ETA: What I love about it is that it does not contain any chemical decongestants or antihistamines - I don't tolerate those well. When I have a cold, after a couple of doses, OTC remedies with those ingredients start making me feel worse than I did to begin with.

I agree, and I do too!

I've read articles pertaining to this (and sugar) before, and I believe dentists have said that if you drink it down fairly quickly, you're fine, but if you sip it slowly, your teeth bathe in it repeatedly and that can cause a problem. This was why kids were getting cavities from sport drinks. I often have a diet soda at night and supposedly there is the same effect. I'm not too worried about it.

But does it work???

I'll trade you with some MOXIE!!

Does that count for sparkling water too? If so, that's terrible news. I drink 4 or 5 cans of fruit-flavoured sparkling water a day (rarely ever citrus though).

A faux mimosa. 1/2 ginger ale, 1/2 grapefruit juice. (I prefer my mimosas with grapefruit instead of OJ. I also prefer them with champagne instead of ginger ale, but I’m pregnant so this will have to suffice.)

 

[marthachick]

Sweet iced tea. I’m from the South so it’s always sweet tea! (It’s 39 degrees so it’s cold for us!)

Done. I know where to find you!

Yes. It is an issue for anything carbonated. You are drinking a LOT of sparkling water. Might want to cut back a bit. Enamel wears away slowly, but you don't know it's happening until it's too late and you end up with sensitivity that is irreversible.

Using a straw keeps the acid away from your teeth. That's what I do.

I'm drinking fizzy water made with the Soda Stream I got for Christmas. I'm also having chicken, brown rice and veggies while watching today's General Hospital. After dinner there will be hot cinnamon tea and Greek yogurt. It's a wild Friday night here!

Sounds good, and congrats!

A mug of hot tea followed by a glass of iced tea. I like tea.
